King's Bride by Beck Michaels
3.0
I DNF’d this book pretty quickly. I really wanted to like this and get into it but something about it just wasn’t working for me and I can’t put my finger on what it was. This doesn’t mean the author is a bad writer, she’s absolutely a good writer. But I didn’t like what I read of this particular story.
The story starts out with Sunnëva hunting in a frozen wasteland to try and put something in her belly. The whole area has been frozen since The Ice Phoenix settled there. But the world around him is slowly dying and the people there are struggling to get by. Especially when half their bounty must go to their king.
Her father returns from a raid and we find out that he’s an abusive asshole (shocker) and her brother is sick. Her father won’t save him so Sunnëva must. But the key to his survival comes from a rare blue rose that is only found in the King’s gardens. Once she has that she returns home only for the king to follow her and her brother to die anyway.
I stopped after that. It was around 12% of the way and I disliked her brother dying and her trying to fight the ice king. I don’t think I’ll be picking it back up based off of the other reviews either. This is just my personal opinion and I would try the author again depending on the book. I just didn’t like this story.
